[edit] Requested move
- The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the proposal was no move. JPG-GR (talk) 00:26, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
Public policy (law) → Public policy — A descriptor such as (law) is not really necessary here, since "public policy" is itself a legal term. Public policy currently redirects to Policy, which I think is too broad to be satisfactory, as it discusses policymaking in more abstract, sociological terms. —Eastlaw (talk) 08:37, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Survey
- Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with
*'''Support'''or*'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.
- Support - Agree with what has been said above. ← κεηηε∂γ (shout at me) 10:09, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose - Public policy is generally not understood in the sense in which it is discussed in this article. Dozens of major schools of public policy exist, and they view policymaking and policy analysis as a social science, not in the legalistic sense in which the phrase is discussed here. --Relata refero (disp.) 11:12, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose the move per User:Relata refero's argument about common usage. Also oppose the current situaion where Public policy redirects to policy. Public policy should at least be a disambiguation page with a line on each the two meanings. — AjaxSmack 00:18, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- Having a separate disambiguation page for public policy is actually a pretty good compromise solution. If anyone wants to elaborate on it, this would be a good time. --Eastlaw (talk) 01:13, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- Well, I wasn't volunteering to do it but, at minimum have a one-line definition of each variant with a link to policy and a link to public policy (law) . — AjaxSmack 01:46, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
